On signing with Pure Noise Records, the lead vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum shares, “We never expected to make it this far and have people actually care about what we do, and moving forward we decided we just wanted to work with good people. From our very first meeting, I could tell that the folks at Pure Noise were just that. They’re fans foremost, and it didn’t take them long to sell us on their vision and make us comfortable with trying to make this something bigger. As a longtime admirer of what they do, I still can’t believe they wanted to work with us. But here we are.”
Slocum continues, “Weirdly, ‘Losers’ has become my unexpected farewell to Los Angeles. I’ve lived here for a decade, but after spending half of last year on the road, trying not to lose money, then coming back to $800+ rent and working 3 part-time jobs to cover it, things started feeling a bit bleak. At one point I basically said the chorus aloud to my parents (who were less than thrilled), and thought ‘maybe I shouldn’t be living this way.’ By the time it comes out, I think half of the band won’t have any permanent address. So it’s both a farewell and recognition of the things holding us back, but also a bittersweet acknowledgment that we’re all in on being losers forever.”
Spanish Love Songs is a five-piece punk band based in Los Angeles, CA. They formed in 2014 after the demise of a previous band and a chance Craigslist post about lonely people looking to go to punk shows. Their sound combines the energy of drunken bar shows with the immediacy of intimate, lived-in lyrics.
Over the past five years, the band has released two albums full of songs told over fast drums and rousing power cords covering themes including apathy, anxiety, a slowly disintegrating marriage, and finding a positive way to handle the loss of those closest to you, while inching towards self-acceptance in a world that doesn’t always feel like home. Since the release of their record last March, the band has hit the road nonstop, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Spanish Love Songs is Dylan Slocum (vocals & guitar), Ruben Duarte (drums), Trevor Dietrich (bass), Meredith Van Woert (keys), and Kyle McAulay (guitar).

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
